AGENDA TITLE: Zombie Walk as Tom Presler Day Proclamation
MEETING DATE: October 19, 2022
PREPARED BY: City Clerk
AGENDA ITEM
13-0Z
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Mayor Chandler will present a proclamation proclaiming the Lodi Zombie
Walk as Tom Presler Day in Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Mayor has been requested to present a proclamation proclaiming the
Lodi Zombie Walk event day to be named "Tom Presler Day" in Lodi.
Tom Presler founded the Zombie Club in 2010, basing it on four principles: peace, equality, independence, and
community. Partnering with local businesses, he organized Lodi's first zombie walk, taking place two nights
before Halloween in Downtown Lodi. Mr. Presler's vision was to celebrate the Lodi community and the
independent and small businesses who make up the community and downtown and to encourage participants
to shop local and support the local economy. The zombie walk allows people of all ages, ethnicities, genders,
and backgrounds of all kinds to gather together, in messy clothes and makeup, just to walk elbow to elbow,
down the street together, in one large crescendo of "this is our town."
